Closure decision rendered Feb. 22 BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Parents made last minute appeals Tuesday night to try to convince district officials to keep two rural elementary schools open. The Feb. 15 meeting at Hatzic elementary was the final opportunity to make presentations to the board of school trustees before next Tuesday’s (Feb. 22) special meeting when politicians will decide the fate of Durieu and

Deroche elementary schools, which were listed for potential closure late last year. Ian MacLachlan, speaking for Durieu’s PAC, reiterated points he shared with the board last month. The Durieu school community wants to work with the board to fully implement the traditional model. The board was loudly criticized Jan. 19 for not promoting the traditional aspect of the school efficiently. “Closing the school is a false economy,” Ma-

cLachlan said. “Closing the school would create a loss of revenue from grants” Durieu currently receives, such as the provincially supplied small community supplement, worth $157,500. The school district estimated approximately $298,500 would be saved by closing Durieu’s doors. MacLachlan pointed out this savings would be reduced by the loss of the small See CLOSE Page 3

Council contemplating 3.09% tax increase March 7 BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

Elected officials will be discussing a proposed 3.09 per cent property tax increase March 7. That’s about $53 for the averaged assessed home in Mission worth $393,000. It’s less than the lowest tax scenario (a rise of 3.5 per

cent) presented because staff found budgetary savings which reduced the uptick by 0.28 per cent (or $69,472), said finance director Ken Bjorgaard. The rate was determined at a district administration and finance meeting last week after councillors dissected the numbers for nearly three hours.

Council went through the budget line by line and found more savings. Also, the entire downtown security cost will be funded through gaming grants instead of taxation and a second assistant fire chief and additional police officer will not be hired. Whether or not to add an RCMP member for do-

mestic violence cases was the most controversial topic, said Mayor James Atebe. “It was very clear [from public input] the community wants to see enhancements in domestic violence service,” noted Atebe, adding the police department is already dealing with it and council has asked the inspector to use existing re-

Two die in plane crash The TSB said the lead plane was rear-ended, sending it into the slough BY JASON ROESSLE Black Press

The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) may have more information soon about a plane crash last Wednesday in which two people died. Details are still unclear as to how a plane piloted by Pitt Meadows’ Paul Knapp rearended his friend’s Cessna 150, which carried Langley pilot Donn Hubble, 60, and 70-year-old passenger Patrick Lobsinger of Surrey. After contact was made, the lead plane crashed into Mission’s Nicomen slough while the other plane made an emergency landing in a farmer’s field, said a TSB investigator Damien Lawson. The two planes were part of a foursome that regularly practised formation flying, and took off from Langley Airport. George Miller, airport manager, said the small team has taken part in Remembrance Day flyovers in the area for the past six years.

The first reports of the crash came in at approximately 4:15 p.m. Wednesday. The Record spoke with Ron Smit, who is friends with Knapp. Smit said the planes collided at 1,500 feet and were stuck together as they fell. Smit said his friend worked the controls and tried to disconnect the planes. At about 500 feet, the planes came apart and Knapp, surprisingly, found all his controls were functional. He was able to shut off the fuel, power down the plane, then make an emergency landing into the field. Lawson said the area is officially recognized as a training area and the four planes were flying in a diamond formation when the incident occurred. The lead plane was lifted from Nicomen slough early Thursday afternoon by helicopter, then deposited on North Fraser fire hall one’s parking lot where a crew removed the wings and prepared to truck the aircraft to a TSB facility where the remainder of the investigation is occurring. Formation flying is a regular event in this airspace, said Lawson, and the distances between planes are not regulated and are up to the individual pilots. “This is really just a tragic accident.”

sources to treat these cases as a priority. “We’re asking staff to do more with less,” said Atebe about the overall budget, which will include cuts to some departmental services and training. In addition to the property tax hikes, Mission homeowners will also be paying more for library

taxes ($2.89) and utilities ($89.32). Councillors will discuss the issue again in March when district staff bring the financial plan bylaw forward for the first three readings. Council is expected to adopt the 2011 tax rate on March 21, but legally have until May 15.

community supplement, resulting in a maximum savings of $141,000. Later in the evening, superintendent Frank Dunham said the loss of that grant could possibly be “offset by the declining enrolment supplement.” He warned that while this system is in place currently, it may not be in the future and this is a risk trustees need to weigh. MacLachlan’s presentation noted all the criteria — including a lack of three-grade splits, the condition of the building and economic savings — used to evaluate whether a school should close does not apply to Durieu. “Any proposal with this many strikes against, it can’t go forward,” he opined. “Like other children in Mission, our kids deserve a school in their community,” said MacLachlan in his closing. The second delegation made similar requests to the board. Earl Babich, Hatzic Prairie, Durieu, McConnell Creek Rate Payers Association, said the group “strongly believes Durieu should remain open.” He said it’s the board’s responsibility to listen to the community and while the majority of the association’s members don’t have school-age children now, “they remember the quality education received [at Durieu].” His presentation included eight reasons the closure should not proceed. Babich charged that the board did not correctly notify electoral area F of the Fraser Valley Regional District and “allow for adequate opportunity for fair consideration of community input,” as well as highlighting Durieu’s cost effectiveness and that it is unprecedented” to close a school and move the children to the second closest school, which would be Hatzic elementary as Dewdney would not have the capacity to incorporate Durieu and Deroche’s students if both shut down. Babich also called for a deferral of the motion to consider Durieu for closure until the community can look over the school district’s financial statements, and added trustees should look at other Mission schools, such as Dewdney elementary, to close before Durieu. The board will render a decision Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. at Hatzic Secondary School.

on site conditions, from $2.5- to $3.5-million. Offsetting the high price tag is the “significantly” lower maintenance cost. “Artificial fields don’t need to be cut and don’t need to be watered,” he explained. Grass field annual upkeep costs vary between $10,000 and $15,000 per field. Many user groups have started requesting this type of facility, Herman added. Due to Mission’s regularly rainy weather, the grass fields take a beating from all the different sports clamouring for use, such as soccer, field lacrosse and football. Local fields at the Sports Park are regularly shutdown because the playing surface would “just get thrashed,” he said. On an artificial field, Herman continued, “you can go all day long and not worry about wear and tear.” Research the parks and rec director has found indicates an artificial turf field can handle the same level of playability as four grass fields. The two groups will also be exploring ways to bring in other partnerships with some minor sports organizations. Mission Soccer Club is interested in getting “the ball rolling,” according to the district. A meeting for all stakeholders to discuss the project further, including identifying locations and amenities, is being organized for the spring. - with files from Carol Aun

IHIT probing ‘08 murder BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

A recent review of a 2008 murder at a New Year’s Eve party has uncovered new leads and investigators are again asking anyone with information to speak up. The body of Mission’s 21-year-old Payton Booker Buckner, also known as Dexter, was found in a residential driveway on Laurel Avenue just before midnight on Dec. 31. Police said the victim was involved in an altercation at a nearby house party and died as a result of stab wounds. Cpl. Dale Carr of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) reports police have spoken to some partygoers, but they believe there is a core

group of people who have critical information to the investigation that aren’t coming forward. Reviews are done on a regular basis and just because an investigation is stalled, it doesn’t mean it’s just sitting in a box, explained Carr.

“We are happy with where we are and now is a good time to appeal to people at the party from various communities.” Police believe there were people from Maple Ridge and Coquitlam at the party as well and have an idea who is involved

in the key group they are trying to locate. “We know some are covering up for others and being evasive,” said Carr, while others are not making themselves available to investigators. “Holding on to information about a homicide is a heavy burden to carry. Now is the time to unburden yourself of that information and come forward with the full details regarding the murder,” Carr said. Police say Buckner was at the party and believe he was targeted, although he didn’t initiate the altercation. Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT TIP Line at 1-877551-IHIT. If you wish to remain anonymous please call 1-800-222-TIPS.

Doctor opposes Bill S-10 BY CAROL AUN Mission Record

A local doctor is among a long list of health professionals across the country against a proposed bill which would impose mandatory minimum sentences for drugrelated crimes. “Criminalizing people who aren’t criminals isn’t a good idea,” said Dr. Andy Edelson, who signed a letter written by the Urban Health Research Initiative earlier this month. Edelson predicts the bill will be expensive and won’t work. He believes governments should spend money on therapy, counselling and safe injection centres instead. “The more you criminalize something, the more money you spend on it.” The Conservative’s Bill S-10 proposes minimum penalties for serious drug crimes, such as trafficking drugs in connection with organized crime, if there are children involved, or when there is a weapon or violence involved. It also lays out minimum penalties for producers of marijuana grow operations. There are exceptions for anyone who has completed a treatment program approved by a province and under the supervision of a court. The minimum sentences range from one

to two years for trafficking, and two to three years for producing an illegal substance, other than marijuana. Minimum sentences for cannabis growers will depend on the number of plants grown and if there are any health and safety factors involved. Targeting organized crime is great, said Edelson, “but [governments] have been unable to deal with it by criminalizing substances.” It didn’t work with alcohol prohibition in the 1930s and it’s not working with drugs today, he continued. Criminalizing drugs increases their value, which drives more people

to take risks to provide them, said Edelson, adding, governments should take the value out of the substance instead. “So much money goes into [criminalizing] it,” he noted. “Who are the victims? The users. We have to pay attention to the victims and organized crime will take care of itself.” Once there is no value attached to the drugs, organized crime won’t want to be involved, said Edelson, arguing education works better than criminalization. “There needs to be a three-pronged approach,” said Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission Conservative MP Randy Kamp,

who agrees education is needed, but so are treatment and enforcement. This bill is intended to disrupt criminal activity, not recreational drug users, said Kamp. “I think it’s necessary ... We’re targeting those who produce and traffic drugs and there will be additional sentences if there is violence or children involved.” The bill was introduced last May, following the defeat of two similar pieces of proposed legislation. It’s now at second reading debate, said Kamp, who hopes it will move forward, but is disappointed both the Liberals and the NDP have opposed it.

OPINION

Published and printed by Black Press Ltd. at Mission at 33047 First Ave., V2V 1G2

Don’t throw stones A statement by Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon expressing concern about intimidation and attacks on Canadian journalists covering the unrest in Cairo rings hollow. Where were the similar denouncements from federal politicians last June when police on security detail at the G20 summit in Toronto summarily targeted reporters and photographers during street clashes with protestors? In fact, as much of the G20 security bill was paid with federal funds, it could be said the arrest of at least nine journalists, the intimidation of countless others, and the seizure of camera and video equipment by police at that event was tolerated, if not outright endorsed, by our Canadian government. Just as the embattled Egyptian government has done in Cairo. Journalists bear witness. The presence of their eyes and questions help keep authorities accountable. It was journalists who alerted the world to the massacre of more than 340 civilians in My Lai, Vietnam by U.S. troops, an incident that turned public opinion against American involvement in the Vietnam war. It was journalists who exposed a scheme by American officials to sell arms to Iran, despite an international embargo. Perpetrators of questionable deeds, whether they’re thugs or governments trying to quash unrest, don’t like witnesses. That’s why police in Toronto turned their truncheons on reporters and photographers as their colleagues aggressively rounded up protestors. That’s why the Egyptian army and police targeted journalists trying to get out the story of anti-government protests. While the Canadian government’s condemnation of the attacks on journalists in Egypt is right and admirable, it should also be a reminder of the old adage, those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. - Burnaby NewsLeader

Weighted system helps smaller constituencies T

here aren’t too many benefits to living in B.C.’s vast hinterlands, compared to the southwest where three quarters of B.C. residents reside. A few advantages of rural life spring to mind: it’s quieter, traffic jams are fewer and shorter, and real estate prices are more reasonable. Another advantage is little noticed, but significant just the same. Rural voters have more clout than their urban counterparts. There can be as many as three times the number of voters in a Metro Vancouver constituency as in one of the remote northern seats, but each gets one MLA. That advantage was reinforced during the 2008 electoral boundary redistribution, when the B.C. Liberal government decided not to eliminate rural seats — a move recommended by an independent commission to

equalize representation in the B.C. legislature. Instead, both the B.C. Liberals and the NDP supported adding six extra seats, in the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Southern Vancouver Island. That narrowed the gap, but the other regions remain over-represented in Victoria. The B.C. Liberal Party has now moved to match this rural clout in its own leadership vote, set for Feb. 26. At a weekend To convention, party delegates voted almost unanimously to get rid of the one member-one vote system that put Vancouverite Gordon Campbell into the leadership 17 years ago. The new weighted voting system ensures constituen-

cies with small memberships have the same influence in the leadership contest as those who have signed up thousands of new members in urban areas. A rural member’s vote might be up to 10 times as powerful as one in Surrey, where many new members have been signed up. As one delegate pointed out, this isn’t strictly a ruralurban thing. In NDP strongholds such as East Vancouver or Nanaimo, there are large popm ulations but only a hardy little band of B.C. Liberal stalwarts maintaining membership in a constituency the party has little chance of winning. There wasn’t much grumbling about this decision. Most B.C. Liberals agreed

with the candidates that sticking with a one memberone vote system would mean only urban candidates have a chance of leading the party. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett was one of those advocating the change to weighted voting, before his noisy expulsion from the B.C. Liberal cabinet and caucus last fall. Still a faithful party member, Bennett urged delegates to adopt the new system, partly because it gives the party “a huge advantage” over the NDP. The NDP is selecting its next leader in April, using the one member-one vote system for the first time. NDP leadership candidates have also signed up thousands of new members, most of them from urban constituencies. The NDP now risks becoming the party of the SEE COALITION PAGE 7

Editor, The Record: Re: New group of trustees should be elected, Jan 20 edition Thank you, Mr. Keis, for exposing some of the behaviours of management officials in regard to school closures and in how board meetings are conducted. The day after the first meeting regarding closure of Durieu school, a facilities worker was sent to the school to measure the windows for plywood to cover the windows while staff were in session. At the meeting, the night before, staff were told no final decision had been made. For a facilities staff that has been virtually cut in half and have their hands full to maintain schools, could this measurement not have been taken after the decision was final? Superintendent Frank Dunham stated this was done because trustees wanted to know the cost of closing a school. Since four schools have already been closed, I am sure this infor-

mation would be available in the financial and work order records. Financial figures released by the district for 2010 again reveal increases in income for senior management staff. For example, Dunham received another 11 per cent raise amounting to an additional $17,541 per year. He received a raise last year of 14.6 per cent ($20,344 increase). His income is now $176,906 per annum. If the district can afford these raises, why are we shutting down programs, reducing student support and closing schools? These raises are approved by the trustees. Carrie McVeigh stepped into the position of secretary treasurer this past year and Dunham said releasing Roy Daykin from this position would save the district money. He, however, forgot to calculate or reveal the severance package that Daykin received. Customarily they are either one or one and a half years wages. So instead of saving us this money,

we are paying double the salary as McVeigh is now making the salary of a secretary-treasurer. The district reported Daykin’s wages for the year 2010 to be $159,710. I agree with Mr. Keis that we need a change in trustees, not only to have the “courage and fortitude to fight for children and parents, stand up to management, and be more supportive of teachers and support staff” but also to know where to get information as to how the district is coping. When I asked one board member last year where their information was coming from, I received the answer that it was coming from the superintendent. I am not sure I agree with Mr. Keis that this district has any fears. If they did, they should be shaking in their boots simply from the embarrassment of taking from our students while their pockets keep being filled. Edie Lissimore Mission

urban poor, and that’s not a recipe for success. Some rural voters will remember that Glen Clark made his first visit to Prince George only after he became premier. He spoke about how pleased he was to finally visit the north, apparently unaware that he had only reached the middle of the province, with the north still to come.

Distracted drivers still a plague on roads despite ban BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

One year after B.C.’s distracted driving ban kicked in, there’s little sign the threat of fines are helping drivers keep their eyes on the road and off their electronic gadgets. “There’s a high percentage of people still using their cellphones whenever they’re driving,” RCMP Cpl. Jamie Chung said. Police issued 32,000 tickets province-wide since the ban on handheld use of cellphones and similar devices began in February 2010, worth a total of $5.2 million in $167 fines. Distracted driving remained a factor in 32 per cent of all fatal crashes in B.C.’s RCMPenforced jurisdictions in the past year. In the Lower Mainland, it’s linked to 48 per cent of traffic deaths — a total of 45 people killed by distracted drivers since the new law took effect. That doesn’t necessarily mean a distracted driver who caused a deadly crash was talking on a cellphone or texting. “It means they were doing something that took their eyes off the road,” Chung said. “Looking for a CD on the floor, playing with an iPod

Many motorists are still using electronic devices while driving.

or maybe they spilled a cup of coffee and were wiping it up, not watching where they are going.” Playing video games and programming GPS units is also a problem, he said. “The worst thing I’ve seen is people looking down and

texting when they’re making a left turn.” Distracted drivers have been hit waiting mid-intersection to turn left when their green light goes yellow and then red. Others stopped at red lights can get rear-ended if the light turns green without them

responding. In addition to the fines, drivers caught texting or emailing also get three penalty points against their insurance. RCMP Traffic Services Supt. Norm Gaumont suggested a review may be needed to examine whether the

distracted driving penalties are stiff enough. “If you look at our statistics, it’s clear the public doesn’t realize just how dangerous it can be if you don’t have your full focus on the road,” he said. BCAA Traffic Safety Foun-

dation executive director Allan Lamb said it’s “unbelievable” large numbers of drivers still talk and text. He said everyone should rethink their near-compulsive need to be constantly plugged in and available to employers, friends and family. He said businesses and organizations with employees who must drive on the job should develop a policy on distracted driving. Enforcement of such policies can be a problem, however, as even ICBC discovered in recent weeks. Private investigators hired by ICBC continued using handheld videocameras while driving to spy on an Abbotsford man suing for damages from a crash. The tactic apparently continued until well into 2010 — after the ban took effect — until a judge criticized the practice and officials vowed it would change. A policing blitz throughout February is now underway to step up enforcement of the law. Officers will be on the lookout not just for phone and gadget users, but also drivers putting on makeup while driving or reading a book or newspaper, even though those are not ticketable under the new law.

HST decision looms over B.C. budget BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

Finance Minister Colin Hansen presented a “status quo” budget Tuesday that he described as leaving a recovering B.C. economy for the next premier. When the successor to Premier Gordon Campbell is sworn in early in March, it will fall to him or her to decide if carbon taxes will continue to rise and small business taxes will be eliminated next year as planned. But the most significant decision of 2011 will be made by voters directly – to keep the harmonized sales tax or go back to the old provincial sales tax. In his budget speech to the legislature Tuesday, Hansen warned of “major implications” that go beyond the return of $1.6 billion in transition funds to the federal government. “The fact is, no province has ever backed out of the HST after implementation,” Hansen said. “Being first would put us into uncharted waters.” B.C. Chamber of Commerce president John Winter said business groups that opposed the

HST have softened their criticism. Businesses are starting to see the savings from simpler collecting and filing of sales taxes, and many are gearing up to promote those benefits before a referendum on the HST, he said. “To go back to the old system would be very difficult,” Winter said. The latest finance ministry projection is that

B.C. will finish the fiscal year March 31 with a deficit of about $1.3 billion, down from $1.7 billion estimated a year ago. That recovery is driven by better than expected corporate tax revenues, which plunged following the world recession of 2008. But a major part of B.C.’s expected recovery comes from the

HST, whose revenues are projected to keep climbing along with personal income tax until the province returns to surplus in 2013-14. Finance officials calculate that much of that sales tax revenue would have come in under the old PST as well, since the main component is retail sales of goods that are taxed the same under

both systems. But over time the HST is expected to grow as modern consumers spend more of their income on services. The budget projects HST revenues of $4.2 billion this year, rising to $5.8 billion in the fiscal year beginning April 1, $6.2 billion the following year and $6.5 billion the year after that.

Campbell’s farewell in throne speech BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The artillery roared and the honour guard was inspected as usual Monday, to mark the start of a brief and unusual session at the B.C. legislature. A speech from the throne usually sets the agenda for the year, but Premier Gordon Campbell’s last speech consisted mainly of highlights of his government’s achievements in the past 10 years. Monday’s speech and Tuesday’s budget must be presented to meet legal requirements, but no new policies will be undertaken until a new premier is sworn in early in March. Finance Minister Colin Hansen dispensed with the ritual of a new pair of shoes as he prepared to deliver his budget Tuesday. The government won’t pass the budget in its four-day legisla-

tive session this week, but instead will vote on an interim measure to finance government programs for the next three months. Campbell said his last throne speech is a chance to look back and also set the stage for a new premier and leader of the opposition. “I hope that it reflects the fact that I hope everyone will raise the level of public debate and the kind of discourse we have, because I think it’s really important to the long-term future of the province,” Campbell said. “I think the government and the opposition can both do a lot to reflect that in how they handle the challenges ahead, because there are lots of challenges ahead for British Columbia.” “New leadership, new vision and new ideas will urge us forward as we enter the second de-

Candidate vetting process quite detailed BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

Have you posted a naughty picture of yourself on Flickr? Do you publish unfiltered thoughts on your blog?

Rant on YouTube? Have legal troubles? If you do, you probably won’t be running for federal office as a candidate for one of Canada’s major political parties. All wannabe candi-

dates go through an extensive vetting process, designed to shed those with baggage and problematic pasts. Aspiring Liberal members of parliament are asked to fill out a lengthy

form that includes questions such as: Have you been expelled from a university or cheated on an exam? Are you going through a divorce? Have you filed for bankruptcy or been in prison? Owe

taxes? The NDP’s “greenlighting” process is much the same and requires candidates to reveal anything they’ve written that has been published or widely distributed

through the Internet — and just those tomes lie. Craig Speirs and Elizabeth Rosenau, who are vying for a federal NDP nomination in the Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission riding, welcome

the scrutiny. “Coming out of the gate as a candidate, you really need to be above reproach,” said Rosenau. “It is really important that when they choose a candidate, you don’t end up finding some terrible chapter in their life that’s being hidden.” During the 2008 federal campaign, Chris Reid, a Conservative candidate in Toronto, was forced to resign after unsavoury posts were discovered on his personal blog. NDP candidate and marijuana activist Dana Larsen also quit the 2008 federal campaign when old video footage surfaced showing him driving while under the influence of the narcotic. Speirs is sure the NDP has examined his Facebook account and online posts. “I’m sure lots of people have — on both sides of the fence,” he said, adding he wouldn’t mind handing over his passwords to party scrutinizers. “I’m proud of everything I’ve done, so it’s easy.” The Conservatives’ nomination documents ask applicants to fill out forms authorizing the Canada Revenue Agency, the Canada Border Services Agency, Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the Department of National Defence to release any available information through the Privacy Act to the party concerning any offences, infractions or pending matters. They also require a certificate of conduct from local police vouching for their good behaviour. Once the questionnaire is complete, conservative incumbent Randy Kamp said it’s followed by a mandatory interview with a party official. Kamp believes it is important to know who is running for public office. “It is good for the members to know that there is someone looking at the nominees, so that when they come to vote they know the person has passed some sort of scrutiny,” he added.

Canadians don’t want an election: MP Kamp BY PHIL MELNYCHUK Black Press

Will Canadians go to the polls this summer or continue to keep Prime Minister Stephen Harper on probation? While the Opposition criticizes the government for its corporate tax cuts and threatens to force an election over the issue, MP Randy Kamp says Canadians are not that crazy about the idea. “I think Canadians don’t want an election.” The cuts in corporate taxes have already been legislated, “so it’s a bit of a surprise” to see the Liberal party opposing them, he said Wednesday. Kamp, though, is welcoming both of the NDP contenders who want to take his job. Elizabeth Rosenau and Maple Ridge Coun. Craig Speirs will be fighting for that party’s nomination March 6. “I welcome anybody who wants to participate in the political process. I’m commending them for it.” He described Speirs as an activist and said people can judge whether what Speirs brings to the federal arena is good for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission. Who will carry the Liberal banner, however, remains to be determined. Liberal riding association president Brian Rice said conditions have changed in the past year and there’s more willingness to fight an election. “I think we’re basically done giving [prime minister Stephen] Harper a chance to manage the economy. “We’re not afraid of an election.” Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has said the cuts to corporate taxes will amount to $6 billion. For Rice, “I just don’t think this is the best time to be giving the banks and insurance companies a huge gift that we have to borrow to give them.” Still, there is not yet a Liberal candidate for the riding. Rice has talked to two people who are thinking about it. He’s intent on finding a local candidate, but it’s not easy. “Randy’s a tough competitor to run against. He’s a good candidate and he knows how to campaign and we certainly respect his ability.” Kamp has defeated the previous NDP candidate,

Mike Bocking, in three elections — 2004, 2006 and 2008. Last election’s results for former Liberal candidate Dan Olson aren’t encouraging either. Olson received only 3,394 votes, finishing fourth behind Green party candidate Mike Gildersleeve, who had 3,833. In past elections, Liberal candidates hovered in the area of 10,000 votes. People get nervous when they see the

numbers ffrom the previous election, ssays Rice. But he ssaid LibKamp eral leader at the time, Stephane Dion, probably had something to do with that. Olson also basically ran the campaign himself, Rice pointed out. This time, Rice plans to help out. Olson had been con-

sidering running a second time, but dropped out due to illness. If Green party hopes materialize, however, the Liberals again could finish fourth. Candidate Peter Tam aims to double the number of votes his party will earn, expecting about 7,000. Currently, Green party membership in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission sits at about 300. Former candidates

Mike Gildersleeve and Robert Hornsey are already helping with Tam’s campaign preparations. “We plan to create a campaign where the content will be partially created by some of my youth helpers and volunteers,” Tam said. As a result, the language used may be a bit more relevant to youth and, thus, gain their support. Tam has been active in scout and youth arts activities. As a computer systems

consultant, he says he may have an edge over the other candidates in using social media. He pointed to a recent poll that if only people under 25 years old could vote, the Green party would win a majority in the House of Commons. While the Conservatives say they don’t want to force an election, the signs say otherwise. “Everybody can see it — what the Conservatives are doing. All the

signs are there. Everybody is gearing up for battle,” said Tam, noting the Conservative attack ads are already airing on TV. While Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he’s not going to force an election, his party is not consulting other parties on the federal budget that should be presented in March. “So it’s a clear sign he’s writing a declaration of war.”

People’s energy powered Olympics, says Furlong BY JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Missionites braved the frigid early morning last year to witness the Torch Run pass through the district. RECORD FILE PHOTO

John Furlong was stunned Premier Gordon Campbell was forced from office by the political maelstrom over the harmonized sales tax so soon after overseeing a wildly successful 2010 Winter Olympics. The former boss of the Vancouver Games, who released his memoir Patriot Hearts on the Olympic anniversary, said he didn’t immediately realize at the time in late October that Campbell was in the midst of resigning. “I think history will see him as a great man,” Furlong said in an interview with Black Press, calling

public opposition to the HST an unfortunate misunderstanding. “I do believe in his heart he was trying to do a good thing and improve the quality of life in this province and create a more prosperous future, which has always been his focus.” Campbell was a relentlessly energetic supporter of the Games and a wellspring of ideas and advice for VANOC, he added. “He was always there for us,” Furlong said. “He wanted this to be about every citizen in the province.” Furlong’s book airs his frustrations with other politicians, including “moments” of disagreement with federal heritage minis-

ter James Moore and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who talked his way into the torch-lighting ceremony in Greece. “If there was one politician I had a real dustup with it was (former Vancouver Mayor) Larry Campbell, who decided he was going to have a plebiscite with just four months to go before the decision on the Games,” Furlong recalls. A “screaming match” ensued with the then-mayor sticking firmly to his position he’d promised the referendum to Vancouver voters and was going to deliver it. “In the end, even though we See FREE Page 13

Summit Learning Centre

Offers First Online French Immersion Course for Grade 10 students.

New friends and having fun... it’s all part of retirement. Always wanting to be at the leading edge of new technology and learning opportunities, Summit Learning Centre has brought forward an exciting new choice for Gr. 10 French Immersion students. Teacher Sonya Woloshen will be instructing Science 10 in French Immersion online, the first time this has been done provincially. The course was created from the ground up by Sonya, who describes herself as a digital teacher. She recently made it a personal goal to have a paperless semester in her face-to-face classroom, an initiative that has proven successful. Sonya has seen that her students are comfortable with technology, but many don't know how to use it efficiently. "I like to just keeping pushing the limits and help students get those 21st century skills," she enthused. One of the key benefits for students is that taking this course online will free up a block in their school schedule, said Summit principal Cathy Anderson. "This provides more flexibility when students are choosing electives at their neighbourhood school." Summit Learning Centre is able to offer this course to any Gr. 10 French Immersion student in B.C., and students may work on the course whenever it best fits their schedule. Summit Learning Centre is excited to be expanding online options for French Immersion students with this engaging new course!

were angry at each other, he ultimately made us a better organization because we had to go win that plebiscite and demonstrate in Canada why we deserved to do this.” Furlong said he had no difficulty when he approached Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts about Surrey taking an active role in the Games. “It took about 15 seconds, the lights went on and she was right there,” he said. “She was a champion who spoke eloquently about the Games and did all kinds of things in the community.” Olympic live sites, free concerts, pavilions and other cultural events were critical in helping defuse the sense of some locals that the Olympics were an unaffordable playground for the elite and affluent. “It was a huge impact because it caused the city to fill up every night,” Furlong said. “The cultural Olympiad in many ways was bigger than the Games, in fact overshadowed the Games.” He marvelled at people who would line up for hours to enter sponsor tents, provincial houses or ride the Robson Square zip line. “It was important that downtown Vancouver was like a very big arena,”

It meant people weren’t just watching as spectators but living the experience. “When (International Olympic Committee president) Jacques Rogge said the Olympics can never go back from this, they were talking about this pouring into the streets of people, not just in Vancouver and Whistler and Surrey and Richmond but across the country. This happened everywhere. This happened in Toronto and Montreal and Halifax and Grand Prairie.”

B.C. Liberals boost rural vote strength BY TOM FLETCHER Black Press

B.C. Liberal delegates voted overwhelmingly Saturday to change their voting system, giving rural regions equal say with urban populations in the selection of the next party leader and premier. With all the leadership candidates in favour of the weighted voting system, delegates in Vancouver and at eight regional forums easily reached the two-thirds majority required to make the change. The final count was 1,319 party delegates in favour of the change, and only 23 opposed. About 1,800 delegates gathered in downtown Vancouver for the vote, with more delegates participating at regional venues in Terrace, Prince George, Fort St. John, Kamloops, Kelowna, Cranbrook, Victoria and Courtenay. The new voting system was recommended by the B.C. Liberal executive last fall, after Premier Gordon Campbell announced he is stepping down. It will assign 100 points to each of the 85 constituency associations, to be divided proportionally when party members pick a new leader on Feb. 26. The weighted vote ensures that a constituency with only 100 members will have the same clout in the leadership choice as one with 1,000 members. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, one of the early proponents of weighted voting, called in to the main convention in Vancouver from Cranbrook one of eight regional forum sites. He pointed out that 16,000 people voted in

the last election in Kootenay East, compared with as many as 80,000 eligible voters in some Vancouver constituencies. Bennett said having a weighted vote gives the B.C. Liberal Party a “huge advantage” over the NDP, which has only recently adopted a one member-one vote system. Former Surrey MLA Gulzar Cheema, who is working on Mike de Jong’s leadership campaign, was among the few opposed to a weighted vote. He said it makes no sense that his vote would suddenly become more valuable if he moves from Surrey to Kamloops. “If one constituency has been more active [signing up new members], why would you want to punish them?” Cheema said. Shuswap MLA George Abbott

has been the most vocal of the candidates in supporting the weighted system. Abbott has said maintaining a one member-one vote system would make it difficult for any candidate outside the Lower Mainland to win the leadership. Before deciding on the weighted vote, delegates narrowly endorsed an amendment requiring each leadership voter to pick a minimum of two candidates on the preferential ballot. De Jong urged delegates to support the requirement for voters to make at least a first and second choice, because he said it would help ensure that the leadership ballot produces a winner with majority support. Rival candidates Abbott and Moira Stilwell also spoke in favour of the two-candidate minimum.

Exhibit traces how we communicate BY JASON ROESSLE Mission Record

Above: Several typewriters are on display at the museum, along with one of the first cellphones in Mission (right). The peace pipe (far right) has been in the collection for many years.

Randy Hawes, MLA Abbotsford-Mission Marc Dalton, MLA Maple Ridge-Mission

In Support of Heritage Week 2011 From the early days of the postal service, to the ﬁrst telephone service in Mission, we explore the history of communication and how it has evolved to the present day and shaped our community.

Communicating is at the core of progress and the ways in which we exchange ideas have changed dramatically over the course of human history. A new exhibit at the Mission Museum, The Evolution of Communications, opens Monday at the Second Avenue facility and follows the progression of several major companies and showcases an extensive collection of artifacts, many donated by local families. But it’s not just typewriters and cellphones filling the display space. One of the most interesting items in the collection, according to museum curator Joanna Karczmarek, is the peace pipe. This long-stemmed pipe was crafted by Anthony Taulbut and

given to municipal council in 1929 after politicians couldn’t solve a dispute. The pipe was introduced and members of council would smoke it at meetings. It was used until 1965, she said. “This is an early example of my idea of ways to communicate,” she explained.

A full row of antique and slightly more modern typewriters are presented and the clock that rang the bells at Mission high school. One of the first projection machines, called a magic lantern, is at the museum too. Light passes through metal plates and a picture is then displayed on the wall which the storyteller uses to illustrate the tale, said Karczmarek. A crystal radio, popular in the early 20th century, is available to view, and is one of the first wireless instruments of communication. During the Great Depression, a crystal radio could be

built from a five-cent piece of galena crystal and safety pin wire. Soldiers built them in the Second World War from razor blades and pencil lead. One of the first cellphones used in Mission is housed at the museum, said Karczmarek. It came out in 1984 and cost $4,000. The curator said communication technology changes quickly, but most people used the items until they broke. The exhibit opens Feb. 21 and the museum is open from 1 to 4 p.m. It is located at 33201 Second Ave. For more information call 604826-1011 or visit www. mission.museum.com.

Provincial, national parks systems founded in 1911 A Century of Conservation: Parks and Cultural Landscapes, has been chosen as the theme for Heritage Week 2011 in recognition of the centennial of both BC Parks and Parks Canada this year. Created in 1911, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dominion Parks Service was the first such national organization in the world. The same year, the provincial govern-

ment passed legislation to create Strathcona Park on Vancouver Island, marking the beginning of the provincial parks system.

ANIMAL HEALTH STARTS ON THE FARM As partners in biosecurity, farm visitors are an important part of keeping Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animals healthy. Animal diseases are easily transferred by people, equipment, and vehiclesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;making biosecurity a team effort between agricultural producers and service personnel.

Griner park still a popular place O

n any snowy day, families from all over Mission can be seen hurtling down the slopes at Griner Park across from Albert McMahon Elementary School. Sleds, toboggans, huge tires, empty garbage bags â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and more recently snowboards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have been mainstays at the park for decades. In 1978, the Griner family stipulated that nothing could be constructed at the park if it interferes with wintertime sledding, and that promise has been honoured. Roy A. Griner, after whom the park is named, was a machine operator for the District of Mission for many years. When he died in 1977, he left his five acre property Sha east of Cedar Street to the municipality stipulating that it be used for recreational purposes only. At the park dedication in 1978, Mayor Bill Harris said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone is good enough to give the land, then we should give him recognition for it. Gifts of land are not unusual, but by the same token, they are hardly common either.â&#x20AC;? District development officer John Carter said it was the first such transaction that had taken place in Mission since 1965. In 1992, area neighbours collected donations, constructed a walking path

and cleaned up around existing plantings. In 1995, over 100 volunteers from Adopt-a-Park picked up garbage and planted a dozen mature trees donated by a local nursery. Volunteers Rita Janzen and John Janzen, and parents from Albert McMahon school had a vision for the future of the park, but dreams of installing a tennis court, beach volleyball court and skateboard park in the area have not materialized. Over the years, trees have been planted by Communities and Bloom and others, fencing and a parking lot added, and new playground equipment installed. The original Griner home was torn down in 2008. If you have pictures or memories of sliding at ron Griner Park, please contact the Mission Community Archives. Today, there is no longer an Adopt-a-Park program in Mission, but the Garden Gorillas, started in 2010, now has over a dozen active volunteers who clean up litter and pull weeds in many local parks and public places. If you are interested in getting involved, contact Mission Adopt-a-Block at 604-826-9423. Sharon Syrette will be writing a number of columns on Mission parks and trails history in recognition of BC Heritage Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme of parks and nature preserves.

Cholesterol Clinic

Here are some helpful suggestions to share with farm visitors:

SHARE YOUR BIOSECURITY PLAN.

Keep your heart healthy.

Stress how important it is to understand, respect and enforce these risk-reducing practices.

ASK VISITORS TO PLAN AHEAD. Explain that contacting producers before arriving ensures visits are appropriately scheduled.

PROMOTE AWARENESS. Explain the importance of avoiding contact with animals, housing areas, and feed and water, when possible. Ask them to work from clean areas towards dirty ones.

ASK VISITORS TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO BIOSECURITY. Before visiting, they should ask themselves: â&#x20AC;˘ Is this visit necessary? â&#x20AC;˘ Where do I park and sign in? â&#x20AC;˘ Do I have everything I need to perform my service? â&#x20AC;˘ Do I know how to enter production zones? â&#x20AC;˘ Am I following effective cleaning measures for equipment and personal wear?

Biosecurity is the best investment we can make to help keep Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s animals healthy. 1-800-442-2342 www.inspection.gc.ca/biosecurity

Don’t hide the hydrant In a Hollywood movie, opening a fire hydrant is just good, clean fun – especially for anyone with a desire to cool off on those really hot days when the swimming hole is too far away, or when having one of those spectacular car chase scenes that includes crashes in which nobody is ever injured. But the truth of the matter is that opening a fire hydrant can be a very serious – and very dangerous – business. The force of the water coming out of a hydrant can easily cause serious injury, damage property, quickly cause serious flooding, or damage the water main. A misused fire hydrant can malfunction, and create a potentially deadly situation when the fire department needs it to fight a fire. No one should be using or connecting to

a fire hydrant, other than the fire/rescue service or the Mission public works staff. Of equal importance is the need for homeowners to avoid landscaping around a hydrant with structures or vegetation, which would make it hard to be seen from the road or access by firefighters in an emergency. If you have landscaped around a hydrant adjacent to your home you should contact public works to ensure your landscaping does not impair their response. Please help ensure hydrants are operational, and if you’re tempted to open a fire hydrant, think twice. If you see someone else using a fire hydrant, call public works at 604-820-3761. This number is staffed on 24 hours a day including weekends.

PUBLIC MEETINGS OF COUNCIL District of Mission Council wishes to invite the public to attend open meetings and regular meetings of Council. The following meetings are scheduled for the weeks of

Date February 17

The District is proposing a 30-year program to construct certain community facilities or amenities, in order to service a growing population and create a more complete community. We are seeking public input on this important program.

COMMUNITY GRANT APPLICATIONS Each year, the District of Mission includes a limited amount of funding in its annual budget to provide grants in support of Mission based community groups engaged in arts, cultural, recreational or social services activities. All grant applications received are reviewed by the Municipal Grants Advisory Committee, which subsequently makes recommendations to Council regarding grant awards and amounts. The deadline for submitting completed grant applications to the District of Mission is March 1 of each year. Incomplete applications cannot be considered, and therefore applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible to ensure that their applications are complete before the deadline. Grant application forms, eligibility requirements and application procedures are available on the website (www.mission.ca) or from the Administration Department, Municipal Hall, 8645 Stave Lake Street, Mission, BC, telephone (604) 820-3700.

Kelly Ridley Deputy Director of Corporate Administration

There will be a brief presentation at the February, 21, 2011, council meeting to explain the District’s proposed community amenity program. Also on March 3, 2011, there will be a special council meeting in the gymnasium at the Leisure Centre (7650 Grand Street) starting at 6:30 pm, wherein members of the public and the development community can learn more about the proposed program and provide input and ideas to council and staff. Community amenity projects impact developers, taxpayers, and the public, therefore your attendance and/or feedback would be appreciated. For more information on the District’s proposed community amenity program you can visit the District’s website at www.mission.ca\cac or contact the Planning or Finance Department at the District of Mission.

Fire safety tips about burning candles Never leave burning candles unattended One of the major causes of home fires, especially during the winter, is leaving burning candles unattended. It is easy to forget that such a calming artifact is an open flame that can reach 1,400 °C. Most candle fires begin in the bedroom with a mattress or bedding cited as the first item to ignite, except during the holidays, when more people use candles precariously too close to decorations. Furniture and plastics are cited as the first items in the home to catch fire in these cases. Statistics reveal that the most common causes of fire are: • leaving candles unattended; • falling asleep while a candle is lit; • using candles for light; • candles located too close to burnable

objects; • candles knocked over by children, pets or sudden drafts. Safety tips • Extinguish candles when leaving the room or going to sleep. • Keep lit candles away from items that can catch fire such as toys, clothing, books, curtains, and paper decorations. • Place candles in sturdy, burn-resistant containers that won’t tip over and are big enough to collect dripping wax. • Don’t place lit candles near windows where blinds or curtains may close or blow over them. • Don’t use candles in high traffic areas where children or pets could knock them over. • Never let candles burn out completely. Extinguish them when they get to within two inches of the holder or decorative material.

• Never leave children or pets alone in a room with lit candles. • Do not allow older children to light candles in their bedrooms. A forgotten candle or an accident is all it takes to start a fire • During power

outages, exercise caution when using candles as a light source. • Never use a candle for light when fuelling equipment such as a camp fuel heater or lantern. • Keep candle wicks short at all times. Trim

the wick to one-quarter inch (6.4 mm). • Be wary of buying novelty candles. Avoid candles surrounded by flammable paint, paper, dried flowers, or breakable/meltable containers. • Extinguish taper and pillar candles when they burn to within two inches of the holder, and container candles before the last half-inch of wax begins to melt. • When buying or using novelty candles, try to determine if they pose a potential fire hazard (if they contain a combustible component for instance). If they do, or if you suspect that they might, inform your local fire department. • Use extreme caution when carrying a lit candle, holding it well away from your clothes and any combustibles that may be along your path. The law There are no legal standards or regulations for candles, including their make, design, safety features, location

Parks and cultural landscapes exhibit The artists are as diverse as their images. Two of the artists, Amber Depocas and Juliette Robertson have never had their work shown in a gallery; Darrelly Lacorre is new to Mission; and CarolAnn Giroday lives on a boat at the harbour. Laurie MacLeod, who works for the district, is an accomplished artist. The exhibit includes images of all four seasons. Bonnie Dobbin’s Old Observer of the Seasons shows us the popular climbing tree at Heritage Park from an artist’s perspective, and Shannon Galuska’s Still Twilight portrays a peaceful winter

afternoon. Oil paintings by wellknown local artists June Pender and Mary Hinds’ wildlife are also on view, alongside photographs by Mady Pechler and pavorpol fabric art by Antoinette Wessels. Helen Janas’ History of Early Mission Transportation brings a reminder of the early settlement of our community. This show provides a local perspective on the provincial heritage week theme, A Century of Conservation, and our parks system includes places of historic landmarks, cultural treasures, opportunities for recreation, and unspoiled wilderness.

The People’s Choice Award will be announced on the final day of the show, Saturday, Feb. 26. Please make time to

PAY IT

The exhibit, a Century of Conservation: Mission’s Parks and Cultural Landscapes, is on now at the Mission Art Gallery. The gallery is open from 1 to 4 p.m. daily from Tuesday through Friday, and is well worth the visit. Mission is truly a unique place to live, work and play. Water colours, photographs, and oil paintings of scenes in the Mission Municipal Forest, a dog running through the mist at Fraser River Heritage Park, a tug boat on the Fraser, fantasy bird sculpture, and a heritage map of Mission Flats are only a few of the images on display.

Let’s get

waterwise! Stave Lake Water Supply Development Project The Abbotsford Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) currently supplies drinking water to 160,000 homes in the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. Within the next two decades, the demand for water in these two communities will more than triple to approximately 430,000 users. While water conservation measures and more efﬁcient water use will help Abbotsford and Mission to manage short term water shortages, a new water source will be needed to meet demands by 2015. The AMWSC plans to develop Stave Lake as a new water supply for the City of Abbotsford and District of Mission. The Stave Lake Water Supply Development project includes the construction of new source works, a water treatment plant and transmission mains to convey water into the existing Abbotsford and Mission distribution systems. An energy recovery station will also be built to convert hydraulic pressure into energy for use at the J.A.M.E.S. Wastewater Treatment Plant to help to offset Greenhouse Gas emissions. The Stave Lake Water Supply Development project will provide a reliable and sustainable water source for the entire region and will allow for future expansion to accommodate residential, commercial, and industrial growth. Approximately $250 million is required for this project, which is beyond the AMWSC’s capacity to develop alone. Cost-sharing partnerships and a variety of funding agreements are currently being considered and the AMWSC expects to have recommendations for project funding for both Abbotsford and Mission Councils to review this spring.

Luyken signing with UBC T-Birds BY DAN KINVIG Black Press

In university basketball recruiting – as in the sport itself – timing is everything. Such was the case with Yale secondary senior Nakai Luyken. Sifting through his post-secondary options, the uber-athletic guard narrowed it down to two preferred suitors – the UBC Thunderbirds, and the University of Portland Pilots. While playing NCAA Division 1 basketball was certainly enticing, Portland wanted Luyken to wait until the late signing period, which begins in mid-April. Recruiting deadlines aren’t as stringent in Canadian Interuniversity Sport as they are south of the border, and Luyken worried that by the time April rolled around, UBC might have given out all its scholarships. And what if Portland’s initial interest didn’t come to fruition with a scholarship offer? That timing tension, plus Luyken’s comfort level during a recruiting visit to UBC prior to Christmas, led him to sign with the T-Birds. “It’s kind of relieving, actually,” said Luyken, who plans to major in business at UBC. “I can go on with the rest of the season and not worry about where I’m going next year. I can just play

basketball.” Luyken also had connections with Abbotsford’s University of the Fraser Valley Cascades to consider. His father Anthony and sister Aieisha are involved with the UFV women’s basketball team as an assistant coach and player. Luyken also played for UFV men’s coach Barnaby Craddock on the provincial under-18 team last summer. “I wanted to move away from home for a bit, even if it’s just an hour and a half away,” he explained. Luyken, who transferred from Mission Secondary to Yale two years ago, played shooting guard on the Lions’ provincial AAA championship team in 2010. With the graduation of star point guard Marek Klassen, the versatile 6’1” athlete has served as Yale’s primary ball handler this season. UBC head coach Kevin Hanson envisions Luyken remaining at the point when he joins the T-Birds this fall. “I think his basketball IQ is very high, with his dad being a coach,” said Hanson, who noted he’s been tracking Luyken’s progress since his days with the B.C. U15 team. “I think he’ll fit in perfectly with our style of play. “We really like his competitiveness, the way he pushes the ball in transition. Defensively, he can really get after it as well and cause people some problems.”

No more excuses L

ast week I asked if you wanted to do something out of the ordinary. Some may think this is an odd question to be asked in the context of sport fishing, but it’s not. Success can be taught and achieved in any endeavour, be it sport, business, entertainment, etc. The person, with required talent, who seeks success, and the monetary rewards, in professional hockey or football is rarely questioned. Yet the person, who seeks those rewards in professional angling, though it is possible, can often be reJe garded as eccentric, or dare I say, out of the ordinary. One very inspiring angler is a fellow named Clay Dyer. Despite the fact that professional bass fishing does not have a large following here in B.C., Dyer is an angler worthy of our respect. If deciding on a professional angling career while in high school and then stepping into it upon graduation was not enough, he accomplished this without hands, legs, and only a partial right arm. Refusing prosthetics, Dyer ties

knots with his tongue, releases fish with his teeth, and accepts no limitations in striving to be at the top of his game. If Dyer can get off the couch and achieve his goals, so can we. Personally, after reading, www. claydyerfishing.com, I have no more excuses.

Cascades control playoff destiny If the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team is looking for a theme song, Takin’ Care of Business by Bachman-Turner Overdrive would be a natural fit. Like the Cascade men, the UFV women find themselves in ninth place with four games to go. But at 8-12, Al Tuchscherer’s squad has firm control of its playoff destiny.

hand glimpse at how scary the youthful Cascades can be when they’re clicking on all cylinders. UFV pushed Winnipeg to overtime in Friday’s opener, ultimately dropping a 79-70 decision. Chilliwack’s Nicole Wierks led the team with 15 points, followed by another Chilliwack native, Alyssa Gaukel, with 13. Mission’s Aieisha Luyken had 12 and Winnipeg’s Tessa Klassen had 11 in UFV’s balanced attack.

Mission wins first in Fraser Valleys Mission Secondary School’s girls alpine team earned first place last Thursday in the Fraser Valley Ski and Snowboard championships, while the boys team took fourth. Natasha Crick earned a gold for her individual first place finish, and combined this win with Katja Krueger’s sixth, Mariah Hunter’s seventh, Liz Janze’s eighth, Christy Hunter’s 14th and Samantha Horacsek’s 15th for the team victory. The boys came in fourth with only three racers, Virgil Hirtz, 13th, Connor Brisson, 24th, and Alex Janze, 30th, said coach Peter Anderson. The boys snowboard team, which won the banner last year, tied for second. Howard Roblee was seventh, Elliot Goodier, 17th, Jason Leiva, 21st, Cody Sharp, 22nd, and Ian Crawford placed 29th; a great job, considering the Heritage Woods Secondary juggernaut that took the top six places, said Anderson.

Finger Eleven fans waited more than two hours to see the band after doors to the Clarke Theatre opened last Wednesday evening. While some less patient fans would’ve preferred to hear the Ontario band right away, their performance was well worth the anticipation. The mostly young and energetic crowd filled the lower level of the room and wasted no time in cheering on opening acts Angel Down and Envy.

Maple Ridge rockers, Angel Down, also had their own following as the crowd chanted their name before they made their appearance on stage. The four-man band kicked off the evening with a strong performance, showcasing six songs and had the audience wanting more. Toronto’s Envy also offered a halfdozen songs as well, but were less impressive. By the time the main act came on, the crowd was ready to rock, jumping up from their seats and crowding the front of the stage. With a poster of their newest

album cover as the backdrop and an impressive light show, Finger Eleven launched into the first song, Above, with full force. They played some familiar tunes before introducing Living in a Dream, Famous Last Words and Good Intentions from their new album Life Turns Electric. Song after song, the audience bounced around and made more noise every time lead vocalist Scott Anderson put his finger to his lips to playfully quiet the audience down. Guitarists James Black and Rick Jackett enthusiastically hopped about the stage and let their creativity flow,

while Anderson was a good anchor. Jackett was fantastic on his acoustic guitar and he somehow found ways to toss, twist and turn his instruments while still generating amazing sounds. Black’s solo introduction to Finger Eleven’s popular One Thing was a pleasure to watch and the big sound in the small theatre was arguably the best I’ve ever heard. Finger Eleven wrapped up its onemonth Canadian tour earlier this week in Alberta and will be playing south of the border late this year.

The Sea Horse plays at Clarke Arts Club Theatre’s production of The Sea Horse will be playing at the Clarke Theatre March 7. Set on the coast of northern B.C., the show centers around hardbitten Gertie (Kerry Davidson), who owns The Sea Horse, a run-down waterfront bar. She has seen it all until Harry (Daryl King) enters the picture. He is a seaman of limited means, but unlimited dreams. The two are both attracted and repelled by one another in this stormy romance filled with humour and drama. “This beautiful and moving tale is my favourite kind of love story — set in a waterfront bar,” says director Sarah Rodgers. “I am so excited to work with this pair of actors; the fiery and funny Kerry Davidson, who possesses that rare combination of great depth and great comedy, and Daryl King, a hot, upcoming actor whose raw and exciting work with Main Street Theatre has garnered him several Jessie nominations and many fans.” The Sea Horse was written by Edward J. Moore For tickets or more information visit www.artsclub.com or call the Clarke Theatre at 1-877-299-1644.

While it is undeniably true that in order to reach our goals we have to have goals, most of us don’t spend much time actually thinking about, or systematically working on them. Most of us probably spend more time each year planning our vacations than we do planning for our future. And, most of us probably don’t spend enough time thinking about what we want out of life and how to get it. Thinking about, and planning related to our values and what is truly important to us is good, and being organized helps us to be a better person and do a better job. Along with setting goals for our personal and career growth, we should also plan on how we can better build up our relationship with God. Although it is always important and necessary to plan on improving ourselves, no one can be sure of what tomorrow may bring. Life is fragile, and everything in this world is temporary and fleeting; perhaps, that is why the Bible tells us to store our riches in heaven where they cannot be taken from us. It is good if we plan and reflect on our personal and career growth; however, it is more important that we work diligently on our goal of eternal salvation. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for God is at work in you, both to will
